Do NOT add sugar!! Totally unnecessary and would have been SO much better without it. Since I couldn't undo it, I added cayenne and crushed red pepper and turned them into sweet and spicy mashed potatoes, which worked to improve the recipe greatly. I will make these again, but with a few changes!

These got rave reviews at Christmas from everyone--didn't have enough to make sure everyone had as much as they wanted! These were really, really good. I used minced garlic from a jar instead of crushed, but that's the only change I made.

Reviewer:

These were absoloutely delicious! I did NOT add any sugar. I doubled the recipe because I was making them for about 12 people. I made them ahead of time and let them stay warm in the crockpot. The steak seasoning is the secret ingredient!! (I used Monterey seasoning)

Reviewer:

Great mashed potatoes! I only gave this 4 stars because I omitted the sugar as suggested by other reviewers. Also, because my potatoes were soft enough, once I mashed them and mixed in all the ingredients with a fork, I didn't at all use an electric mixer because they had the perfect texture.

Reviewer:

I followed the recipe almost completely, as I swapped in fresh chopped garlic per another reviewer. I also skipped using the mixer as simply mashing made the potatoes smooth enough. The occasional flash of red was a nice variation to the usual mashed potatoes, and they were a perfect compliment to the Honey Glazed Pork recipe on this site.
